If you're a member of the Society of Sports Therapists (SST), keeping up with your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for maintaining membership, staying up to date with industry standards, and delivering the highest level of care to your clients.

This page breaks down what’s expected of you as an SST member when it comes to CPD — and how flexible, fully online CPD courses can help you meet those requirements with confidence and ease.

CPD Requirements for SST Members

The Society of Sports Therapists expects its members to engage in ongoing, structured professional development throughout the year. Although SST does not enforce a strict minimum hour requirement like some associations, it does require that CPD activities are:

• Relevant to your scope of practice as a sports therapist

• Ongoing, demonstrating a commitment to lifelong learning

• Well-documented, with reflective notes and supporting evidence

• Balanced, including a variety of learning formats where possible

Typical CPD activities might include:

• Formal study (e.g. online CPD courses)

• Attending workshops, webinars or lectures

• Reading peer-reviewed articles or research

• Engaging in professional discussions or supervision

Does Online CPD Count for SST?

Yes — online learning is fully recognised by the Society of Sports Therapists as valid CPD, provided it is structured, relevant, and recorded. All our CPD courses at The Therapy Web are designed to meet these criteria. You’ll receive:

• A certificate of completion

• Learning objectives and outcomes

• Reflective questions or summaries to help you document your learning

Whether you’re topping up your knowledge or diving into a new clinical topic, our courses are ideal for SST members seeking convenient and accessible CPD options.
